One of my favorite places is...

Pickity Place, located near Mason, NH. Lunch there features delectable food make with fresh herbs from the herb garden. My daughter, Jen, and I have lunched there several times.

On the property is Grandmother's Cottage, a red Cape Cod cottage that was featured in the 1948 Golden Books edition of Little Red Riding Hood by Elizabeth Orton Jones. Grandmother's bedroom is full of Little Red Riding Hood memorabilia. The grounds of Pickity Place are a photographer's dream - full of building, nooks and crannies, and of course the herb garden itself.

Just thinking of the great food served there makes me hungry. On Amazon I found a cookbook Country Herb Cooking: Four Seasons of Recipes from Pickity Place by Judy Walter that I promptly ordered. Can't wait for it to get here. Here are samples of what's served.

If you're in the New England area, think about visiting this jewel of a place. I'm not connected to Pickity Place in any way, just wanted to share one of my favorite places.

So nice to meet you Sondra! How fun to visit you and find a post on New Hampshire! I know of Pickity Place, but have yet to go there. I have heard wonderful things about it and am happy to know it is a favorite of yours!Love hearing that you have NE connections and that your children live here. I do miss the Rockies though, so please give my love to Colorado! Merry Christmas to you and yours!joan

About Me

Wife, mother, and grandmother of six, ardent reader of books and decorating magazines, amateur photographer, pet lover with three dogs and one cat, flower and vegetable gardener, old folkie from the 60's...all can be used to describe me. I'm retired and now have the time to follow my dreams.
I support those who work to ban puppy mills. Chick flicks, westerns, and who-done-it movies are my favorites. Books are stacked all over my house just waiting to be read. Give me folk, country, or 60's rock music and I'm happy.
